Description
Impact Priorities
Auckland Council: Auckland Climate Response Grant
Auckland Climate Response Grants are one-off grants open to a range of groups particularly those who have not previously engaged with climate action activity or are rapidly building capacity in this area.
We will give priority to applications in these areas: Transport; Energy; Food; Māori-led projects.
Auckland Council: Auckland Climate Strategic Grant
The Auckland Climate Strategic Grant supports programmes and activities aligning with one or more priority activity themes (Transport, Food, Energy, or Māori-led) with tangible or clearly quantifiable emissions reduction and/or resilience outcomes. Strategic grants will be expected to have more significant impacts than response grants.
We will give priority to applications in these areas: Transport; Energy; Food; Māori-led projects.
Our purpose is to accelerate progress towards a sustainable, equitable and inclusive financial system in Aotearoa.
We instigate and participate in collaborations across three focus areas: Galvanising leadership;
Changing norms, rules and standards; Building capability.
We are a charity that promotes ethical investment and empower all New Zealanders to be responsible for how they invest their savings.
